Clifton Rugby - Life in Lavender And Black

All three Clifton seniors teams in action over the weekend of 21st December - two of them finishing the year in second place in their leagues! Pus a fan question from Cletus in Alabama about the shape of balls.

Three Clifton senior teams in action delivered 3 good performances. Wins for the 1s and 2s, and further progress for the 3s. This is the midpoint of the season with just one match left before the Christmas break.

Storm Darragh meant that the 1st and 2nd XV matches were postponed, but the ever-determined MisFits notched up a bonus point win, their first victory this season. Ever wondered why Rugby is a Winter sport?

Reports for the matches played on Saturday 30th November and some thoughts looking forward to the upcoming December fixtures.

No 1st XV match this weekend but the 2s and 3s are in action in meaningful fixtures. Also, a wine tasting evening to savour!

Round 11 In the midst of Storm Bert Clifton made it 6 wins in a row. Pre-match saw a Q&A with Joe Owen and there's was a minute's applause for recently passed Daryl Hickey. Clifton's win sets up a 1st v 2nd showdown in 2 weeks in Cornwall.

We're about to hear from one of Clifton's finest – a player who's made his mark on the pitch and probably had a bit of fun along the way. From unforgettable tries (yes, the one against Dings at Christmas 2021!) to playing alongside rugby legends like Ellis Genge and Callum Sheedy, today’s guest has a lot of stories to share.

A deep dive into a weekend of rugby for Bristol's oldest club, as the first XV visited the current BUCS champions, the Wanderers entertained Bridgwater & Albion, and the Misfits hosted Barton HIll.

Round 9, National 2 West 2024/25 season. Home match played at Station Road.
